Nearly all our cases, as a practical matter, are defended by insurers, whether the claim is against the insured adverse party for a negligence type of claim or directly against the insurer for breach of contract, etc. Disputing the liability and amount of damages of these claims successfully is what we do. We obtain a recovery for over 99% of our clients, and we do it honestly, the old fashioned way: with hard work, experience and lots of hard-earned knowledge.

Extremely helpful

Mr. Jensen took the time to review my case, read through my documents and provided me with the best way to pursue the case in a way that would be most beneficial for me to have a successful outcome.

Chris Jensen was a legal Eagle!

I worked with Chris after being in a car accident. He was so helpful and caring. I had a lot of anxiety involving the legal process with the other driver's insurance and my medical bills. Chris worked diligently to get my case resolved, while putting me at ease. Once he and his staff became involved ...I no longer had the stress and I could focus 100% on getting better from my injuries. He is hands down the best attorney for accident/ injury and I would recommend anyone going through something similar to go See Chris Jensen immediately!
